From a home schooling mom to everybody... oh, oh, I'm on the wrong forum :huh: - what the heck. You all will have fun with this too :lol: .

Here's a link to a map of the Middle East - can you put the names in the correct place?

This reminds me of what is happening over there.

:o Say yes to civil liberties, human rights, democracy and justice for all!

(and if you live over there... you have to do a map of the 50 states)

(and, yes, I'm a Canuk and no, I couldn't do the whole 50 either)

As a side.. Prayers for Japan.. there just are no words..

We sat around in a coffee bar in New Zealand one night when I was 19, trying to come up with the names of all 50, let alone where they were :o

Well, I sure had fun doing this Middle Eastern map..thanks, "Mom"!! I put in Armenia, since my grandparents came from there, and the big countries I knew, for sure first...then had to struggle a bit, but can proudly say I did it in about 4- 5 minutes...yippee for me!!

....as for the US, I probably would have a struggle with the states in the middle...LOL LOL

and yes, I am American.... :unsure:

thanks for the brain exercise, Etta!

I found a countries one, you have to type in the names and it puts them on the map for you, so it's more remembering than knowing where they are: Open Original Shared Link

(I got 103 out of 195 - lots of room for improvement!)

And this one for US states: Open Original Shared Link

And yes, I spent waaaaaay too much time improving my speed on the states one. I am such a nerd for quizes. You created a monster, posting the Middle Eastern one :-)

      Celiac getting dentures

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.

      Fighting for a name

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I am so sorry you're going through this bad experience--it's difficult when your own lived reality of cause and effect is dismissed by the very professionals meant to help you. You are absolutely right—your violent physical reactions are not "what you think," but undeniable data points, and it's a form of medical gaslighting to be told otherwise, especially when you have a positive HLA-DQ2 gene and a clear clinical picture. Since your current "celiac specialist" is not addressing the core issue or your related conditions like SIBO and chronic fatigue, it may be time for a strategic pivot. Instead of trying to "reprove" your celiac disease to unwilling ears, consider seeking out a new gastroenterologist or functional medicine doctor, and frame the conversation around managing the complications of a confirmed gluten-free diet for celiac disease. Go in and say, "I have celiac disease, am strictly gluten-free, but I am still suffering from these specific complications: SIBO, chronic fatigue, dermatological issues, and high blood pressure linked to pain. I need a partner to help me address these related conditions." This shifts the focus from a debate about your diagnosis to a collaborative plan for your current suffering, which is the help you truly need and deserve to work toward bouncing back.

      Hello, no I had to have them re done and then used a liner over the top.  Many dentists are not aware of the celiac effects.  Best of luck.   There is other material, yet, very expensive.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.
